Combine Patterns Like a Pro
Combining different types of patterns is a great way to start adding some grandpa-esque flair into your space. Follow these steps to mix things up:
- Find patterns that speak to you. Whether you're a lover of vintage inspired feminine florals, quirky and colorful stripes, or flashy animal prints, incorporating patterns you truly love is a great way to add a touch of personality to your space.
- Choose cohesive color schemes. Since we're already using a variety of patterns, keep things complimentary in terms of color. Instead of choosing hues that clash, stick with balanced contrast.
- Create layers. Use interesting throw pillows, blankets and rugs to build your unique space from the ground up, just like your grandpa.
Looking for variety? Check out Ever Lasting for a wide selection of pillows & pillowcases, blankets & throws and cozy rugs, perfect for grandpas and beyond.

Curate, Don't Clutter
When it comes to aesthetics built around collecting, like maximalism or the eclectic grandpa aesthetic, it's easy to get lost in the madness. When choosing decor pieces for your room, it's important to make sure you prioritize selecting curated pieces over clutter or junk. Keep all the cute trinkets, wall decor and figurines you love, but make sure that they're in your space for a reason, not just to fill space.
Selecting vintage inspired pieces with utility, like candle stick holders, mirrors and cohesive wall decor is a perfect way to add to the comfort without any of the chaos. Some of our selections include:
- The Vintage Inspired Retro Poster set, for an effortless way to fill the white space on your wall. Each poster is unique and full of charm, while maintaining a harmonious look.
- The Vintage Wooden Butterfly Mirror, to add some vintage flair to your daily routine. Mirrors are great for getting ready in the morning, taking a quick selfie or simply just making sure you look just right before heading out.
- The Vintage Aesthetic Wooden Wall Mirror & Candlestick Holder, to keep up the cozy vibes. Using a candlestick holder isn't just a quirky vintage accent, they're great at freeing up desk space so you have more room to work (or store other trinkets).

Light it Up with Lamps
Lighting is one of the fastest ways to instantly make a room ten times cozier. Ditch the harsh florescent overhead lights for soft and golden lamps to bring that relaxed grandpa vibe to your bedroom. The best part? These lamps can also be used as fun decor!
Choosing lamps that come in unique shapes and colors is a great way to adjust your room's vibe in two ways: adjusting your lighting and adding texture to your decor. Using lamps will make it feel like you are a true grandpa — ready to relax in an armchair in a rainy day — but still keeps things cute and unique.

Pump Up The Personality
To really hone in on the eclectic grandpa aesthetic, the most important factor is making sure it's perfect for you. Without personality, every aspect of the aesthetic falls apart. So to truly master this vibe, you need to dig deep and channel your inner grandpa.
To become a true eclectic grandpa, think about what makes you, you.
- Big fan of music? Incorporate that trait by storing CDs or 6-inch records in a stackable crate.
- Lover girl at heart? Use some heart shaped wall hangers on your wall.
The most important part is that you are the center of your space, not your grandpa.
